About Us

Empowering Writers, Shaping Cinema

Scriptors is a collective of writers and filmmakers, where we develop concepts and write scripts for films and shows. From ideation to screenplay writing, to doctoring, to pitching, we provide all the necessary support & guidance. 

Writing a good script is a struggle but making it reach the right place is an even bigger battle.

Scriptors is the one and only organisation run by the writers, which ensures the talented writers and their work get their dues. Even as you read this, our writers are creating, curating and pitching new content across leading film production companies, television channels and OTT platforms.

HOW DID IT START

The inception of Scriptors is deeply rooted in our lifelong connection with storytelling. From a young age, stories were more than a choice; they were an undeniable calling. My twin brother Gaurav and I engaged in 'narrations' instead of games, with stories as our enchantment and films as our inspiration. Our 'diary' served as a story bank, a tradition that continues to evolve till date. The true catalyst for Scriptors was our struggle to navigate the arduous journey of taking a story to its destination.

OUR VISION

Everyone has a story, and the lucky – or crazy – ones are blessed with the fire to tell them. However the journey of nurturing a great idea into a good script is a struggle. We offer guidance to write succinctly, narrate confidently and pitch to the right people to bring your stories to screen. We’re here to support you to push your boundaries – because we also started once, and believe in giving back to those we learned from.

Deepak Miglani

Deepak Miglani

Founder

the Software Engineer with a flair for screenwriting that's quirkier than a rubber chicken convention! He codes by day, but by night, he is a script magician who turns bits and bytes into Bollywood dreams. He's not just a member of the scriptors core team; he's the captain of quirky dialogues and family drama, crafting stories that are more dramatic than a cat's reaction to a cucumber! He's already penned two feature films, one of which is so good that a production house couldn't resist snapping it up. It's safe to say that his scripts are hotter commodities than samosas at a Bollywood premiere. When he isn't busy writing the next blockbuster, he's on a quest to broaden his perspective on life.

The inception of Scriptors is deeply rooted in our lifelong connection with storytelling. From a young age, stories were more than a choice; they were an undeniable calling. My twin brother Gaurav and I engaged in ‘narrations’ instead of games, with stories as our enchantment and films as our inspiration. Our ‘diary’ served as a story bank, a tradition that continues to evolve till date. The true catalyst for Scriptors was our struggle to navigate the arduous journey of taking a story to its destination.

After co-writing our first feature script in 2013, we encountered the daunting question: What’s next? Even though we developed many more concepts and scripts, we struggled with the way ahead. Seeking advice from those with even a hint of knowledge we pitched our scripts indiscriminately, only to realise the slim odds of unsolicited scripts from novice writers being acknowledged. In 2016, when Junglee Pictures finally recognized what is now ‘Doctor G,’ we found ourselves grappling with the complexities of agreements, legalities, and the nuances of collaboration. It was a moment when we wished for a guiding North star.

That’s when Scriptors was conceived – a community of writers, for writers with a commitment to cultivate the finest stories. In 2016, Pravesh Gurung, Baljeet Randhawa, Deepak Miglani, Ravi Asrani and Gaurav Bharat, I created a platform to allow writers to concentrate on their craft while other industry professionals, including experienced writers, handle the subsequent stages.

We stand united, working collaboratively, all driven by a shared vision: to craft remarkable stories and bring them to life on the screen.

Our mission is to empower writers, and through that, shape the future of cinema.-Saurabh Bharat
